Appointments

A face to face consultation is provided with every treatment booked

Please provide 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, so that we may make best use of our appointment diary. If you do not attend a booked appointment, and fail to advise us within 48 hours, a £50 non-refundable booking fee will be charged.

If a consultation was provided during the appointment, there will be a charge of the consultation fee, as shown on the price list. This will be payable at the clinic or deducted from the deposit made.

Routine review appointments are offered after treatment as a courtesy. If you are unable to attend the review appointment at 2 weeks, no additional treatment or ‘top up’ is provided once the review period of 2 weeks has passed.

New patients are seen for consultation and assessment; except in exceptional circumstances, with prior arrangement, treatment is not provided on the first visit.

• To reduce the contact time with your practitioner we ask that you are prepared for your treatment:

o Face Treatments: please ensure that you attend the appointment without make or all make-up should be removed prior to the appointment.

o Laser hair removal: area should be shaved and hair removed prior to treatment

Prior to your appointment, we will inform you of any preparation required for your treatment. If you do not follow the guidance this may result in cancellation of your appointment, reduced treatment time, or additional fees being charged.

Dermamina will endeavour to ensure that your appointment runs on time. However, should we need to cancel your appointment at short notice, we will make every effort to contact you in advance. All treatments cancelled by Dermamina will be rebooked as soon as convenient for our client.

If you do not attend your appointment with no attempt made to let us know, this will result in a 100% charge or forfeiting your treatment.

Late arrival to your appointment may result in a reduction in your treatment time, forfeiting your appointment or a charge.
